TI  - Gross motor function in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy and Cerebral Visual 
      Impairment: A comparison between outcomes of the original and the Cerebral Visual 
      Impairment adapted Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88-CVI).

AB  - PURPOSE: To investigate whether the adapted version of the Gross Motor Function 
      Measure-88 (GMFM-88) for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Cerebral Visual 
      Impairment (CVI) results in higher scores. This is most likely to be a reflection 
      of their gross motor function, however it may be the result of a better 
      comprehension of the instruction of the adapted version. METHOD: The scores of 
      the original and adapted GMFM-88 were compared in the same group of children 
      (n=21 boys and n=16 girls), mean (SD) age 113 (30) months with CP and CVI, within 
      a time span of two weeks. A paediatric physical therapist familiar with the child 
      assessed both tests in random order. The GMFCS level, mental development and age 
      at testing were also collected. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare 
      two different measurements (the original and adapted GMFM-88) on a single sample, 
      (the same child with CP and CVI; p<0.05). RESULTS: The comparison between scores 
      on the original and adapted GMFM-88 in all children with CP and CVI showed a 
      positive difference in percentage score on at least one of the five dimensions 
      and positive percentage scores for the two versions differed on all five 
      dimensions for fourteen children. For six children a difference was seen in four 
      dimensions and in 10 children difference was present in three dimensions (GMFM 
      dimension A, B& C or C, D & E) (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The adapted GMFM-88 
      provides a better estimate of gross motor function per se in children with CP and 
      CVI that is not adversely impacted bytheir visual problems. On the basis of these 
      findings, we recommend using the adapted GMFM-88 to measure gross motor 
      functioning in children with CP and CVI.
